Weekly Watercolor #1 - Fox in the snow

Last year I just wanted to start water coloring because it was something I always wanted to do. Now I would like to just get better at it! Also it'll keep me going on my blog! So with that said here's the first watercolor of the year! The plan this year is to post 1 watercolor a week. We'll see how it goes. It might be a little bit too ambitious but also I don't need to me doing a fully draw out illustration like this weeks! We're going to start this off at #1:

Little Fox

This a new little creation! I made  a fox out of sculpey which is kind of the most amazing stuff ever. This little guy is based off the fox I drew for my Silence illustration. He's a cutie and don't be surprised if you see him popping up in my instagram pictures.

Pink Fox

So far out of all the plush I have ever designed the Mr. Fox character has been one of my favorites! This I guess is a girl version since it is pink. However when I finally get around to doing the arctic fox one, that will really be the girl counterpart to Mr Fox. She will be complete in mostly all white design and eye lashes which I kind of meant to incorportate into this design but completely forgot! This is also a custom request from a friend, since I wouldn't naturally think to design a pink fox! She sure is cute tho.

I just wanted to say a little something about the scarf. The scarf is hand knitted all by myself! It's pretty much the extend of my knitting capabilities but I just want to  give a little shout out to my friend Sarah Vanderbeek because she took the time out to show me how to knit like 8 yrs ago when we met at my first design job. I can do other knits but I always get kind of frustrated when it comes to yarn.  However Sarah is just fantastic when it comes to knitting and I am glad she at least got to teach me the basics!

Mr. Fox

This one I have been working on for a few weeks. It's a bit tricky to have a really good idea and then you go to make it 3D and it doesn't quite sew up the way you want it to. That's why the first toy is always a prototype but it really looks like there is no need for improvement. I am really happy with this fox, it might be my most favorite Lizling to date! Now that I have the design for the fox done I have plans to do an all white lady fox next!
